As a child, Peter Sohn’s whole world was a grocery store in the Bronx. Run by his Korean immigrant parents, the sidewalk was his front yard. The piles of crates were his playroom where G.I. Joe figures would wage war among the cabbages. The future animation director says some of his first drawings were sketches on cardboard in the back office as his mother copied Snoopy cartoons.
Starting the day with early morning deliveries, closing late every night, Sohn’s parents worked punishing hours to give their children opportunities they never had.
